Where can I find reviews and resources for fundraising and other nonprofit software?
Determining your nonprofit's technology needs and choosing from the vast array of available software can be overwhelming. Choosing carefully will help ensure that technology will maximize your nonprofit's impact and solve problems, not create them. For help with general technology needs, consult local resources in your area, like:
- State nonprofit association. These often provide consulting or referral services for members.
- Professional colleagues. If you belong to a professional association, it likely has a message board or other community tool where you can post questions.
